Susan Sidney, a 25-year-old woman from McKeesport, PA, tragically lost her life on January 27, 2014. She was shot in the chest while walking with an unidentified male on McCleary Street, just outside Crawford Village. Despite being rushed to UPMC McKeesport hospital, she succumbed to her injuries. Police believe that Susan was not the intended target of the shooting, but rather her companion, who fled the scene and has not been located.
The investigation into Susan's death revealed that
she was a mother of five children, aged between 3 and 7 years old. Her family and friends gathered for a candlelight vigil to mourn her loss and pray for justice. The community was deeply affected by the senseless violence, and her father expressed his grief, stating that Susan was very happy for her 25 years of life.
In the aftermath of the shooting, police launched a thorough investigation to find the perpetrators. Two men, Henry Little-Proctor and Rashawn Walker, were eventually charged with Susan's murder. However, during the trial, discrepancies in the witness's testimony led to both men being acquitted of the charges. The jury found that they could not trust the witness's story, resulting in the not guilty verdicts.
Despite the lack of convictions, Susan's family continues to seek justice for her death. The case remains open, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward to assist the police in their ongoing investigation.
Susan Sidney's story is a tragic reminder of the impact of violence on families and communities. Her memory lives on through her children and the love of those who knew her.
